Engines aren't toyotas best either,seen quite a few in the scrappy with blown motors.
We repaired one before and the wheel had snapped off the front but it stood up well,no jigging as most of it bolts on and off,really easy to work on as well.
Their pretty lame in the performance department but as you sit low and they rev well they certainly give the impression of going fast,I didn't mind it.
The wheel went wonky on his after the repair and it turned out to be the hub,although I couldn't see why but a second hand one cured it right away,there's also a lot of adjustments on the suspension do it maybe just that.
I've never seen one under a grand so I think that's optimistic and check it is cat d not c as it really won't be worth anything if it is as generally the logbook is marked then.
